The Tohatsu MFS65AJETETUL is purpose-built for boaters who need to navigate skinny water — shallow rivers, gravel beds, and rugged backwater stretches where a propeller-driven outboard simply isn’t an option. Sharing the proven MFS90/115/140 platform, this jet drive outboard pairs the same compact, lightweight architecture with a 65 HP jet pump rating, making it an excellent fit for jet sleds, hunting and fishing skiffs, and shallow-draft aluminum hulls running rocky or silty rivers.
Power comes from a 4-cylinder, 1,995cc EFI four-stroke with Tohatsu’s unique SOHC-4V cylinder head design — exclusive to this class. This combination of architecture and electronic fuel injection delivers smooth, predictable acceleration, dependable cold-weather starts, and the kind of fuel economy Tohatsu has built its reputation on. At wide-open throttle, the MFS65AJETETUL consumes just 7.58 gallons per hour, giving you genuinely usable range from a single tank — a meaningful advantage on long backwoods runs.
Standard equipment on this configuration includes electric start for fast, effortless ignition, power trim and tilt for quick on-water adjustments, and a 25-inch ultra-long shaft suited to taller transoms and dedicated jet boat rigs. A robust 12V, 492-watt, 41-amp alternator easily handles electronics, lighting, and onboard accessories, while the chromed pump case liner and high-solid paint coating give the engine the durability it needs to stand up to abrasive sand, gravel, and saltwater exposure.
The Tohatsu 65 HP outboard also delivers practical, real-world ownership advantages. Adjustable idle and trolling speed lets you fine-tune RPM in five steps between 650 and 850 RPM — useful for slow drifts, controlled trolling passes, or precise maneuvering in tight quarters. TOCS (Tohatsu Onboard Communication System) provides plug-and-play connection with onboard electronics, simplifying installation of a multifunctional tachometer, trim meter, or other accessories. Compatibility with both Multi-Function Tiller Handle setups and remote control systems means you can rig this outboard the way the boat demands.
With EPA and CARB 3-Star emissions compliance, the MFS65AJETETUL meets the strictest clean-running standards while delivering Tohatsu’s signature long-term reliability and low-maintenance ownership since 1956. Whether you’re running shallow flats for redfish, exploring rocky inland rivers, or repowering a jet sled with a more efficient four-stroke, the MFS65AJETETUL offers a rare balance of light weight, real power, and proven Japanese engineering — backed by Northeast Marine for sales, rigging, and service support.
